Abstract
Using the comparative method, in this article the state of scientific development is analyzed by modern Ukrainian scientists of discussion on military campaign of B. Khmelnytsky of 1649-1651. It is noted that the political decisions of the Ukrainian Hetman under Zboriv in 1649 and Berestechko in 1651 make his image of the controversial figure of the Ukrainian statebuilding. Y. Mytsyk indicates that the siege of Zbarazh has given the necessary preconditions for the victory in the battle under Zboriv. Assessing the battle under Zboriv, I. Storozhenko emphasizes that it has been corresponded to the concept of the oncoming battle and has become a model of operational-tactical solution to organize the conduction of fighting. I. Storozhenko is sure that B. Khmelnytsky has stopped Zboriv battle and has made the Crimean Khan to do this. There is the opposite thought of V. Smoliy and V. Stepankov, which prove that the order on termination of the battle has come from the Crimean Khan Islam-Girey. T. Mac′kìv believes that Zboriv agreement was not adequate to an actual success of Cossack troops. T. Yakovleva adheres to a similar thought, she writes that Zboriv agreement brightly testified that at that time the desire of ordinary Cossacks and Hetman with his foreman much differed. O. Subtelnyi believes that among the Ukrainian masses Zboriv peace could not cause nothing but indignation. The controversial question is the behavior of B. Khmelnitsky under Berestechko, including his stay in the Tatar captive camp. Certain historians, such as Polish, write about «the shameful escape Khmelnytsky from the field of battle», the others believe that B. Khmelnytsky has followed Khan to return him to the place of battle, voluntarily has stayed with the Tatars, and then he could not return to Berestechko. S. Storozhenko agrees with them too, who believes that in order to prevent the national condemnation he could imitate the capture. I. Sveshnìkov argues that the absence of B. Khmelnytsky on the field of battle caused the fact that he was captured by Islam-Girey III. V. Smoliy and V. Stepankov illustrate as proof the testimony of the participants of the battle from the Polish, Ukrainian and even the Crimean side about the detention of B. Khmelnitsky by Khan.
